My Cookbook is Out!

I am taking a break from our normally scheduled recipe for an announcement. Today is the official publication date of my cookbook! I am so excited. It is hard to believe that something I spent an entire, hot summer developing and writing is available now on a library or book store shelf and of course, on Amazon. In the book you will find 300 slow cooker recipes, all with an eye towards using fresh ingredients and not a single one calls for condensed soup! I think you will enjoy it.

I am giving away a copy to one lucky reader. Please leave a comment on this post to be eligible to win. The comment must include your email address.

Congratulations and how serendipitous! I am currently meal planning for the next two weeks, and was lamenting how few good slow cooker recipes I have -- and I love my crockpot! We try to eat healthy and my husband is lactose intolerant, so many slow cooker recipes just don't work for us. Your cookbook looks wonderful! My email is erin [at] gringuitica [dot] com. Thanks!

Oh, that's so exciting - congratulations! This is the perfect cookbook since my family works a 9 to 5 schedule so it's such a hassle to have dinner at a decent hour. We just bought a crock pot in hopes of evening/morning prep, but we haven't been brave enough to try anything yet. Even if I don't get a free book, hopefully my library will get a copy soon!

I am so happy for you! at least someone accomplished something this summer, that is to say, when I had the time I was broke, when I had the means I was babysitting crowds of children...All summer long..... Makes for a good excuse anyway!

Congratulations Rachel! And having tried many of your blog recipes already I know that the recipes in your new book will be a joy to make and eat ;-) I'm a big slowcooker fan (I got one for christmas last year) so if I don't win the give away I'll definitely order one!

So exciting, and I can't wait to get my hands on your new cookbook! Congratulations on the publication, and I would not be sad if a free one landed on my door step (because payday isn't for another two weeks)!

Your cookbook looks great! I have never posted on your blog before, but I diligently read and store your recipes away for future nights. I love using my slowcooker but admit I stay away sometimes because recipes that use it tend to use too many processed foods. This cookbook looks like it could change all that! Congrats!

Congrats!! I would love to give a copy to my mom! She will love your Baltimore-inspired recipes -- she's from Parkville, but moved away 40+ years ago. She gets so jealous any time I brag about picking crabs, smelling a neighbor cook sauerkraut, or going to a bull and oyster roast. And I think the use of fresh ingredients will encourage her to remember her childhood - minus the canned food her mom served up!

that is soooo awesome! an entire book on using just a slow cooker? that's pretty epic. i think my bf and i will have fun cooking with your book. slow cooker = more time behind closed doors ;)tiffanyhtdao@gmail.com

Congratulations! I obviously haven't read the book yet but want to offer my preemptive THANKS for a slow-cooker cookbook focused on good ingredients. I've yet to read one with recipes that I would actually cook (see: condensed soup) and am very excited for yours!!!

Congratulations! It is so disappointing to buy a crockpot cookbook only to discover that it is full of recipes calling for condensed soup. Looking forward to getting a copy of this. Thanks!alissabrown [at] gmail [dot]com

Big congrats on the cookbook! What an accomplishment! I would love to have this cookbook....I love the idea of a slow cooker, but I hate the condensed soup that inevitably seems to be involved! I would love to win...
